Re: Net Neutrality
What guarantees do we have that the government will keep the internet neutral and unrestricted to users?

I am on my phone now but I cam repost (later) an article that shows what a country that never had the protection we have with NN. I posted that article in the Era of Trump thread since Ajit Pai, the current FCC chairman that Trump appointed, wants to take NN awayvwith the Dec vote. He also wanted to do this way back in the summer as well.pineapplemike wrote:What guarantees do we have that the government will keep the internet neutral and unrestricted to users?

Re: Net Neutrality
Nations with regulated internet access have the most advanced and highest broadband speeds in the world. The less regulation, and the more monopolization, the worse it is.
This is macroeconomics 101, guys. I am serious. You should have learned this as a sophomore.
Monopolistic powers are pretty fucking bad for consumers and the entire nation in general. Come on.

Re: Net Neutrality
Sat cannot compete at all. That's what people use up in the mountains around here. It's really fucking bad, actually. Not consistent at all. You cannot possibly compare that to broadband.
